Copper is an essential trace element involved in a plethora of functions being a component of several enzymes. Copper deficiency affects people of all age groups, including infants, children, pregnant women, and men. Deficiency occurs due to numerous factors hindering the absorption/uptake of copper. Male Wistar rats (35-50 gm) were divided into four groups: Group 1: Negative control – fed with standard feed (Ashirwad Industries, Chandigarh) and tap water was provided ad libitum .Group 2: Copper control group- Fed with diet containing 126 nmol Cu/gm. Tap water was provided ad libitum. (c) Group 3: Pair-fed group – Fed with 126 nmol Cu /gm diet but the amount of feed given was equal to the feed consumed by the copper-deficient group the previous day to account for stress and starvation effect caused due to low intake diet. Tap water was provided ad libitum (d) Group 4: Copper deficient- animals were fed with 6.3 nmol Cu / gm diet, and demineralized water was provided ad libitum. The experiment was conducted for...

Ondansetron hydrochloride (ONH) is an exceptionally harsh, powerful antiemetic drug utilized for the treatment and prophylaxis of chemotherapy or radiotherapy or postoperative prompted emesis. This investigation aims to detail and assesses taste-covered quick-dissolving tablets (FDTs) of ONH to expand patient consistence. ONH taste veiled granules were set up by a strong scattering procedure. Dissolvable dissipation techniques were utilized for such readiness. Totally taste veiling with zero arrival of medication in phosphate support pH 6.8 was acquired from granules arranged by dissolvable vanishing strategy utilizing drug: polymer proportion of 1:2, from which four equations pass a pre-pressure assessment and compacted to FDTs and assessed for their medication content, in-vitro breaking downtime, in-vivo deterioration time, wetting time and in-vitro drug discharge profile. It was tracked down that the tablet definitions F8 with cross carmellose sodium as super disintegrant showed the fast medication discharge when contrasted with unadulterated medication. T50 and DE 30% for the definition F8 was discovered to be in 7 min and 73.5%, Hence reasonable as quick-dissolving...

Alzheimer’s is a degenerative brain disease associated with memory depletion and mild cognitive dysfunction, leading to dementia. Today’s world attempts to treat various ailments have increased with medical advancements. There is still considerable research into medications capable of preventing or at least effectively altering the trajectory of AD. Medicinal plants play a major role in Alzheimer’s and memory loss control. Ayurveda, homeopathy, Siddha & Unani medicine systems are the main conventional therapeutic approaches. In animal studies, AD caused by chemical compounds may be helpful in deeper understanding the mechanism of disease and AD treatment. The anticholinergic drug Scopolamine induces amnesia in rodents. In the present study, the efficacy of an Extract of Hylocereus undatus (HUFE) was evaluated against scopolamine-induced Alzheimer in the Wistar albino rat. Donepezil at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg, HUFE was given in rat at a dose of 100 mg/kg body weight, 200 mg/kg body weight, and 300 mg/kg body weight. The anti-Alzheimer activity was assessed by Morris water maze, novel object recognition test, and Y-maze. And...

In this present work, BCS class II Candesartan celexitil, as an angiotensin receptor blocker used mainly for the treatment of high blood pressure and congestive heart failure, was successfully loaded in the solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) by using hot high-speed homogenization method. The SLN formulations were prepared and optimized by Box Benhken design study. The SLN was characterized by Nanophox size analyzer and Delsa nano C zetameter. The SLN was also evaluated for particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, drug loading, surface morphology, and in-vitro dissolution study. The average particle size, zeta potential, percentage entrapment efficiency, and drug loading were found to be 177nm, -8.23 mV, 95.72 %, and 8.23 %, respectively. The dissolution study of SLN showed 92.07 % released in six hours compared to 46.89% release from the pure drug, which indicates a significant improvement in the bioavailability. The release of the drug from SLN showed zero-order kinetics. The stability study was also carried out and found to be stable after three...

Objectives: To assess the risk factors, opportunistic infections (OI’s), prescribing patterns along with ADRs, medication adherence, and quality of life (QoL) among HIV patients. Methods: This is an Ambi-directional cohort study conducted at the Government hospital, Bhimavaram, for 6 months from July 2019 to December 2019, including 201 HIV patients’ data. The data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 8.3.0. Descriptive statistics & paired t-test were employed to assess risk factors, OIs, prescribing patterns, and QoL, respectively. Results: Out of 201 patients. Heterosexuality (96%) was found to be a predominant risk factor in this study. Between type-1 and type 2 HIV patients, Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate/ Lamivudine & Efavirenz (TLE) and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate/ Lamivudine/ Lopinavir/ Ritonavir (TL/ATV/r) were the first-line and second-line therapies respectively in type-1 patients; however, TL/LPV/r was reserved for type 2 individuals. Among 201 patients, 55 patients were reported with 60 ADR’s and the predominant ADR was found to be rashes (36%). Approximately 76% were reported with a history of OI’s, the most prevalent being TB (39%)....
